Default clutch slipping

hey guys i have 05 plated wrx wrp10 and the clutch has just started slipping i have ahg warranty and have only had the car a few months but i dont know if there gonna give me warranty on a clutch. Just wanted to know whether you guys think i should just replace the clutch or upgrade it? where i can get a decent aftermarket clutch from in perth? and what my chances are of replacing it on the ground since i dont have access to a hoist?


cheers

Its a consumable item like brake pads so I doubt you can get this replaced under warranty.

Doing it on the ground is possible if you have tall jack stands and a transmission jack. Wouldn't want to do it though.

Yup. Standard replacement is best.

Just make sure you get the right one.
I think the my05 onwards use push clutches.

Unless you're running lots of horsepower, factory will be ample. Easy to drive, no hardship on driveability.
